Business as usual -Colloquial English in Use

The aim of this course is to help the student of English as a foreign or second language to use colloquial English. It is for learners who have completed about three years of English at secondary level (whether recently or some time ago) and who need to revise and improve their speaking and understanding of English for social purposes or for their work.

When you speak, you most often use an informal style. When you write, you must adopt a style that is appropriate to the subject matter and the audience for which your writing is intended. For instance, it would be inappropriate to use a formal writing style in a college newspaper article about a basketball game; likewise, it would be inappropriate to use an informal writing style for a Los Angeles Times or Chicago Tribune editorial discussing a serious social or political issue.

The course is specifically designed for students who wish to follow a 16-week course in Colloquial English through an interactive approach.

Here’s a short excerpt from the content of the course:

This course spans the intermediate learning stage, from low to high intermediate. It seeks to reinforce and enrich language skills that have probably been neglected, due to the requirements of many a formal English syllabus. It is designed to be of use in any country in the world and will prove especially useful for students in language schools.

Different aspects of the idiom

It is important to realize that idioms are not only colloquial expressions, as many people believe.

They appear in formal style and in slang, in poetry, in the language of Shakespeare and the bible. 

Some of the vocabulary and structure may already have been met by the student in reading texts but the important thing is to transfer this knowledge to active and instinctive use for a variety of practical purposes.

There is some attention to more formal elements of discussion which some students may require for business purposes. I am assuming that my students may come from all walks of life and that as young or not-so-young adults they require added confidence in using colloquial English.

Wszystkie zdania zawierają jedyne w swoim rodzaju zwroty idiomatyczne oraz frazy, którymi możemy posługiwać się w życiu codziennym.

Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called 'multi-word verbs’. Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the English language. Multi-word verbs , including phrasal verbs, are very common, especially in spoken language.
